Hahaha, there's N-O-T-H-I-N-G. There used to be a shop called Dysphorie (mostly CDs, almost no vinyls), but it went out of business in april last year. I never ever scored any rare vinyl in Paris (I'm originally from there). When it comes to real metal shops and pubs, this city is absolutely useless.

If you mean there is a shop in "rue de Douai", it's wrong. It closed down a few years ago, and it was quite shitty. But if you're looking for guitar, bass, drums, home studios (etc.) shops, this street is for you.

Doesn't R'n'R Voltage still exist? I'm pretty sure it does, and it's the only metal record store in Paris. Decent vinyl selection, but pricey...

I lived in Paris for a couple of years in the early 90s and I did find A LOT of great/rare records there... but those were the pre-Ebay days of course, a totally different era for record shopping. Last time I went record shopping in Paris (about two years ago) I hit about 20 stores in a day, and found maybe ONE record! (and I don't listen to metal only...) It's safe to say that Ebay has had a pretty negative impact on record stores in Paris.

Some stores you may want to check out, depending on your musical tastes, but most of these have metal sections:

As mentioned above, it all depends on what you're looking for. There's quite a lot of random second hand stores all over the city... maybe check out the flea market in Clignancourt on the weekends too...

Ahps, OK. It´s been quite a few years since my last visit there, but my post said more or less the same than yours (sorry for write it in spanish), nothing good at all and expensive. Anyway, there are plenty of things to do/visit/whatever in Paris, non related to metal.

Really? sory for dysphorie because I found many good lps and cds in there 2 years ago. It was great metal shop I think

In juisseau music, I found nothing. there was no special metal record in there._________________You'll be implicated in crimes using these evil doppelgangers. Then i'll collect the bounty placed on your heads...

Yeah, Ykh is unfortunately right: I've been in Paris yesterday and I've just found some generic records -nothing of really amazing.
In my opinion, the most interesting shop in Paris is now Gibert (some good 2nd hand stuff). The others stores are smaller than ever. Time has changed...

Thank you all for your helpful comments and information. I don't know if I'll finally spend some of my very limited spare time seeking through record stores if the possibility of scoring some decent LPs isn't worth the effort at all.

Doomraiser, thanx for encouraging me to do some tourism instead of concentrating on vinyl hunting exclusively. I already know Paris, a just a little bit to be more precise and I totally agree with you that such a city has lots of interesting places to visit. So you speak Spanish, where are you from?
